[PATCH v2 2/3] gitweb/gitweb.perl: remove use of qw(...) as parentheses

Using the qw(...) construct as implicit parentheses was deprecated in perl 5.13.5. Change the relevant code in gitweb to not use the deprecated construct. The offending code was introduced in 3562198b by Jakub Narebski.

The issue is that perl will now warn about this:
    $ perl -wE 'for my $i qw(a b) { say $i }'
    Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at -e line 1.
    a
    b

This caused gitweb.perl to warn on perl 5.13.5 and above, and these tests to fail on those perl versions:

    ./t9501-gitweb-standalone-http-status.sh           (Wstat: 256 Tests: 11 Failed: 10)
      Failed tests:  2-11
      Non-zero exit status: 1
    ./t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output.sh          (Wstat: 256 Tests: 10 Failed: 9)
      Failed tests:  2-10
      Non-zero exit status: 1
